with you and your (strange) I mean, wonderful heheheh, family. I'm thankful 
that even though you dislocated your knee when you visited me in Michigan (just 
by standing up from a couch) back in 95, the only thing that happened to me 
during last year's visit was that I got a really bad cold. Hehehahhahaha!

Seriously, spending Thanksgiving with you and your family last years 
was a memory that I will cherish always. 

Not to mention serious blackmail with the dinner-hour recordings I got

So, if I might ask, what does that say about your immediate environs, given that the metro area in which you currently reside is comprised in part by Salisbury, which happens to be a part of South Carolina?

Seems you're a bit too close to your own mark, even if you're not technically from either of the Carolinas.

and your (strange) I mean, wonderful heheheh, family. I'm thankful that even 
though you dislocated your knee when you visited me in Michigan (just by 
standing up from a couch) back in 95, the only thing that happened to me during 
last year's visit was that I got a really bad cold. Hehehahhahaha!

Seriously, spending Thanksgiving with you and your family last years was a 
memory that I will cherish always. 

Not to mention serious blackmail with the dinner-hour recordings I got from it.

The thing is, that you still can do good and give back to people in this world 
without having a job as a social worker or what ever.  The paperwork wasn't the 
deciding no factor for me however, it was the fact that you spend more time in 
most cases dealing with red tape and overload of cases rather than doing the 
good for humanity that drew you to the field in the first place.

If you ask someone that graduated with their MSW why they got that degree, 
their generic response is because I want to help people,  That's awesome, I'm 
all for helping people, but you can accomplish that task by volunteering your 
time coaching special Olympics or being a big brother or big sister, a victim 
advocate or crisis center volunteer--go work for habitat for humanity.  My 
point, is that you can give and get back ten fold without a job as a social 
worker.

Paperwork should be outlawed in my opinion.  It exists in almost every 
profession where you spend any time working with people, but it is still an 
awful task!  *frowns*

  The thing is, that you still can do good and give back to people in this 
world without having a job as a social worker or what ever.  The paperwork 
wasn't the deciding no factor for me however, it was the fact that you spend 
more time in most cases dealing with red tape and overload of cases rather than 
doing the good for humanity that drew you to the field in the first place.

  If you ask someone that graduated with their MSW why they got that degree, 
their generic response is because I want to help people,  That's awesome, I'm 
all for helping people, but you can accomplish that task by volunteering your 
time coaching special Olympics or being a big brother or big sister, a victim 
advocate or crisis center volunteer--go work for habitat for humanity.  My 
point, is that you can give and get back ten fold without a job as a social 
worker.

  Paperwork should be outlawed in my opinion.  It exists in almost every 
profession where you spend any time working with people, but it is still an 
awful task!  *frowns*

Amy, doesn't that sound like you don't like the paperwork aspect, though? and 
that it was a deciding factor? Just understanding your thoughts.

I think that if people go into a field because of some underlying facet of 
their personality that drives them to go into the field and if that sense of 
purpose for them, is helping others and that resonates with them enough to be 
an awesome Social Worker, more power to them. I don't think there is anything 
wrong with allowing your social motivators (See find your ideal career podcast) 
 to drive a desire to help others. It is when that desire does not drive their 
passion and quality of work so that quality only equates to being high enough 
to support them beyond being a volunteer, instead of a social worker, that 
there becomes a problem, I think.

Just throwing in my two cents for fun here, really.
